3rd May – Singing Wood Warbler

Rob Duncan reports a much better day on Thursday 3rd. The highlight was a singing Wood Warbler in Lower Millcombe first thing, but only very briefly. A total of 53 birds, mainly Willow Warblers, were ringed during the morning. Three Shelducks were seen on Pondsbury by Cyril Matthews' daughter. Spotted Flycatcher, 2 Garden Warblers and 2 Lesser Redpolls were also around Millcombe and a Whimbrel at the South End.
